Foundations of medical librarianship.

The development of medical librarianship during the last forty years is examined as reflected in the changes of its resources, technology, education, and knowledge base. A shift from historical to scientific inquiry constitutes the direction of medical librarianship. Its nexus is the gathering of information and the transfer of knowledge. The social and human resources for this ongoing change and the basis for a quest for excellence is seen in the pool of talent represented by hospital librarians and the aspirations of the women's movement for equality.

A regional cooperative acquisition program for monographs.

A cooperative acquisition program for monographs for the twelve resource libraries in Region IX of the Regional Medical Library Network is described. Each of the participating libraries has agreed to purchase all books of an assigned publisher which fall within a prescribed subject-format profile. It is hoped that this will help to reduce unnecessary duplication and contribute toward the development of resources in the region.

The analysis of family practice workloads by seriousness.

There is a need for a measure of the overall seriousness of a given family practice workload. In the past, such measurements have been attempted in various ways. In this work, the rubrics of the Canuck Book Classification (a classification of health problems in family practice) were rated for seriousness. There was sufficient agreement on 96 rubrics for them to be used as indicators of the seriousness of workloads in general. Some examples of the uses of the system are shown. Several difficulties were encountered; these are not insuperable, and the method deserves to be developed further.

The reorganization of a monographic reference collection.

Reference monographs in the Health Sciences Library of the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey were reorganized recently according to form, in order to enable both librarians and patrons to utilize these materials more efficiently. This reorganization reflects the unique characteristics of reference books as differentiated from the regular monographic collection, since reference materials are frequently consulted for quick "look-ups." A reference category scheme was developed and implemented, based on observations of and comparisons with reference collections of eight medical libraries in the New York metropolitan area. The reorganization enhances the retrievability of materials from this collection.

Classification and audiovisuals.

The University of Connecticut Health Center Library's substantial investment in audiovisuals has prompted careful examination of its organization of the AV collection and its effectiveness in answering user needs. While an accession number system worked for a small collection, increased size quickly generated access problems, especially because shelves are open to users. With the present collection of over 2,500 audiovisual items, adoption of the NLM classification promises convenient and continued flexibility in the future.

Incidence of verbal comparisons in beginners' books and in metaphor comprehension research: a search for ecological validity.

Explicit verbal comparisons in 53 popular children's books were syntactically and semantically classified. Comparison types found in these books were contrasted with comparisons used as comprehension stimuli in extant developmental research. Although noun-phrase metaphor has been a popular syntactic form in research, it is a rare form in children's literature. Implications for the design of future stimulus sets are discussed.

Past presidents I have known.

This paper is an account of the accomplishments of some of the early past presidents of the Medical Library Association known personally to the author in his career as a medical librarian. It demonstrates the qualities that made these librarians leaders of our profession and also indicates their personal attributes that contributed to the advancement of medical librarianship. It is hoped that the historical presentation of some of the giants of our profession will inspire present and future presidents and other medical librarians with an understanding of some of the qualities necessary to the continuing success of our profession. Sir William Osler, who was a great believer in libraries and librarians and himself a Past President of MLA, summed up four qualities in his advice to medical students equally applicable to past and present leadership in the library profession-(1) the art of detachment, (2) the virtue of method, (3) the quality of thoroughness, (4) the grace of humility (Osler, Sir William. Teacher and Student. In his Aequanimitas: with Other Addresses to Medical Students. 3d ed. Philadelphia, Blakiston Company, 1904. p. 27-31.). It is thought that our past presidents possessed all of these qualities.

Centralized automated cataloging of health science materials in the MLC/SUNY/OCLC shared cataloging service.

Since February 1976, The Medical Library Center of New York, with the assistance of the SUNY/OCLC Network, has offered, on a subscription basis, a centralized automated cataloging service to health science libraries in the greater metropolitan New York area. By using workforms and prints of OCLC record (amended by the subscribing participants), technical services personnel at the center have fed cataloging data, via a CRT terminal, into the OCLC system, which provides (1) catalog cards, received in computer filing order; (2) book card, spine, and pocket labels; (3) accessions lists; and (4) data for eventual production of book catalogs and union catalogs. The experience of the center in the development, implementation, operation, and budgeting of its shared cataloging service is discussed.

Reclassification in a small decentralized medical library.

This study describes procedures and indentifies problems in the reclassification of a small medical school library collection that is decentralized into five locations in three different communities. A total of 9,915 monographic titles (14,911 volumes) were reclassified in a nine-month period. The reclassification staff consisted of one professional, two nonprofessionals, and one partime student assistant.

[Open disponibility before self - on Medard Boss' Basis of Medicine and Psychology].

In this book, written in collaboration with Heidegger, Medard Boss endeavours for the first time to use Heidegger's late philosophical oeuvre as a basis for medicine and psychology. Boss attempts to uncover behind the understanding of man as existence, which prevail in "Sein und Zeit" and which has been so influential for Binswanger's existential analysis, a more original understanding of man as eksistence, as "open disponibility" (Offenständigkeit). The interest of this view resides in the resulting general principle of classification and interpretation of all forms of disease, giving rise to an "existenialistic pathology". The problematic aspect consists in the failure to integrate the "being-onself" in the understanding of human existence as open disponibility, which leads to a one-sided interpretation of disease processes.

Statistical and other data-analytic techniques for the evaluation researcher: an identification, classification, and description of methods and resources.

The goal of any social/health intervention program is to improve the lot of the people it is designed to serve. Of critical importance is the development and implementation of programs able to achieve such a goal is evaluation research (ER)--a process representing an interface between the generic notion of evaluation and the rigor of social research methodology. The evaluation researcher should be familiar with, and be capable of using, any of a number of (statistical and non-statistical) data-analytic techniques. The objectives of this discussion, therefore, are to (1) identify, categorize, and briefly describe statistical and other data-analytic techniques of potential use to the evaluation researchers; and (2) identify currently available resources, i.e., texts, books of readings, monographs, etc., that offer discussions and analyses of these techniques. It is hoped that such an exposition will lead to a wider understanding, acceptance, and use of these procedures, which can only enhance the quality of subsequent program policy- and decisionmaking.
